It looks like Ghost in The Shell enthusiasts will get their fair share of joy when they invest all their earnings in what is dubbed "Cyber Tatami". Traditionally, a tatami mat is the flooring found in Japanese homes and isn't anything special (but rather uncomfortable to most of us foreigners).What happens when you take bamboo flooring and modernize it? You get something called Hikari Tatami which looks like this:
It looks pretty cool right? Well, it doesn't end there. In fact you can change flooring from living rooms, to bathrooms, and even tea ceremony rooms. I'm pretty sure that this will be a hit in videoke.
Unfortunately each Cyber tatami mat costs an arm and a leg, which if I've learned anything from Full Metal Alchemist, it's a bad thing to do. Each mat costs a whopping $2,000 USD and they're not exactly big either. I presume that covering an entire room would cost a lot more than a car, not to mention a whole house. While they do look cool, let's wait until the rich buys it enough times so that us commoners can afford it.
